Simple solution to your phosphate problemBy Mrehfeldon 11/23/2013

This product is super easy to install and dropped my phosphates from 0.36 to 0.04 in 3 days! That's pretty awesome, I highly recommend this product.

Bought a single reactor for my 46g reef tank and bought some GFO to go into it. Works great and lowered my levels within a week of use! Would recommend to anyone who's trying to decide on buying.

Another well built product. Easy to use and worked for the few different ways I put in the media. Currently using the carbon on top between pads and GFO tumbling below. The hose is stiff so may want to pick up some plumbing parts if flexibility needed for some applications.

Good for GFO, So-so for carbon...By Frankon 9/11/2013

Frank would recommend this product to a friend

This reactor has a nice build quality at an attractive price point. It is easy to install and to perform maintenance on.

I have run this reactor with GFO, carbon, and a GFO/Carbon mix. Running just plain GFO this reactor performs flawlessly.

Running carbon or a GFO/carbon mix proves to be somewhat difficult. The sponges that hold the media tend to wear out after only a couple of uses. This lets the media become loose in the chamber and lets space in between the media which you do not want while running carbon.

While I would not recommend this reactor for just running carbon, I think it is a fine GFO Reactor. At the price it is hard to beat!

good product but not enough flow gphBy JasonandSarahon 9/3/2013

JasonandSarah wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

overall it seemed like a good product but you have to dial it down so much with gfo that you aren't running much water through it at all they say you can grind up the gfo so you don't want it tumbling in there too much I've never heard that from another phosphate reactor? maybe I'm doing something wrong? but I watched the video and read the instructions so for now I'm kinda having buyers remorse and wishing I went with a different reactor

excellent product By ALEXon 8/28/2013

ALEX would recommend this product to a friend

The easy installation and effectiveness is a big plus. you cannot go wrong with product, it literally took me 5 minutes to install and another 5 minutes to prep the media.

Should have done it soonerBy Tom Gon 8/12/2013

Tom G would recommend this product to a friend

Not trying to repeat what everyone else has already started but these things are easy to set-up and use, just follow the instructions given and you won't have a problem.
Mixed reviews about the double unit had me nervous so I chose to use 2 single independent units so both could be fed individually. I couldn't be happier with the results. Filling and flushing is quick and painless, adjustments are a snap and noticeable results are seen within hours.
If you are still on the fence about purchasing, wait no longer, ownership is the best side.

My 2 cents,
Tom G

Great product and high quality!By Daveon 4/11/2013

Dave would recommend this product to a friend

This reactor is made of high quality and comes with everything needed to set it up. Very simple concept, basically a water filter housing. The only improvement which would be nice to see in the future is the media cartridge to have the ability to remove the bottom strainer and not just the top. This way you can "pack" the filter media easier to the top of the cartridge when running mixed carbon/gfo so you don't get the tumble effect. Everything else is perfect and for the price you can't beat and this product definitely out performs the other name brand reactors for fraction of the cost!

Installed this on a 37 gallon grow out tank and have had zero problems with it. Bought it as a Gfo reactor with brs Gfo and the pump. The best true plug and play I have purchased and the corals are loving it. Acan and blasto's have never been this open and my zoas are reaching for the stars. Phosphates have been an issue and no they are at a constant zero. Very happy with this product. Been over a month now and still zero issues.

I love this thing. I work on a lot of tanks and have seen alot of reactors in action. Most a thin plastic tubes that crack or leak in a short time. I love this reactor because its tough. Its also super easy to clean. The tubing and connectors are quality as well. I wouldn't waste my money on a "brand name" reactor.

Very good buy for the money.By Kevin on 2/19/2013

Kevin would recommend this product to a friend

Bought 2 reactors one for carbon and the other for gfo. The reactors are durable and made with very good material (dont think they will crack.) I've had them for 10 months now and definitely think i made the right decision in buying the reactors. The only advice I would give a potential buyer is to think of the fittings you will need in order to hook up the reactors to your liking. For example they give you flexible pipe with the reactors and the pump. Sure you could bend the pipe to wherever you want the water to go. However, if your going to mount the reactors you may want to buy some elbows in order to make quick bends.

I bought this reactor for GFO, I find it to be built of quality parts and you get everything needed for installing,minus the pump. It feels super heavy duty, unlike some other reactor i have seen at the same general price point. If you looking for a reactor for GFO I don't think you kind find a better one. works exactly the way it should . I am very happy with mine.

Just got the my new unit up and running and by far it the best and well built unit I have. Its a little larger than some but seems to operate much better. The GFO tumbles every nice and slow, and much more evenly than other. It also looks like it will be lees prone to leaks.

I got the kit came with pump and everything needed to get the unit up and running, and only to a few minutes.

Thanks BRS.

Works great with an MJ1200 pump.

Gets clogged way too easyBy Aronon 1/11/2013

Aron wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

I really wanted to love this reactor since I like so many products here at BRS but I simply cannot. The filter is pretty easy to install and get going and took me about 15-20 min to get fully functional. I use (the older version) MJ1200 with this reactor that seems Ok for the reactor.
My biggest complaint is how easily this reactor gets clogged...I use it mixed with GFO and Carbon and after a week I get no flow coming out of it. I do not understand because the reactor is only 1/3 - 1/2 full of media. When it gets clogged I have to take it apart and clean out the inside canister to clean it out. My next problem is the sponges that are provided are there to hold the media in the top of the canister when you are mixing GFO and Carbon. However, once the media gets wet and heavy it starts to sink and the sponge sinks down a bit making the media tumble, and making the GFO break down the carbon. This drives me CRAZY. I am an OCD kind of person and I hate everything that is not perfection. I understand this product gets glamorous reviews but it simply did not work for me. I would not recommend it.

Excellent Product!By Roberton 12/28/2012

Robert would recommend this product to a friend

Overall it is my first experience with a reactor of any kind. It is extremely simple to configure. I did not need to purchase the MJ1200 with the unit, as I had an older style. The flow from the MJ1200 is a bit heavy for a single reactor but I would think perfect for two! So might as well get the bigger option first.

Overnight my corals have began to open back up to full - my finger leather is showing great polyp extension for the first time in months. My phosphates were off the charts!

My experienceBy flipperon 12/3/2012

I use it for gfo reacter. I Like the reacter but hate the maxi jet pump it came with. It too noisy. So if you are buying it do get the pump. I have fed mine off the main pump . And is working great.

Functional BUT...By Jeremyon 10/8/2012

Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend

I used this reactor for about a year and have no major gripes...but be careful with it on two fronts.

1. The bracket broke from unit after 6 months of use. The plastic bolts that hold it in place all failed from tightening and untightning the reactor. Perhaps I was over thightening??? I don't think I was.

2. The reactor had a tendency to clog way more quickly than other reactors I've used...make sure you place a sponge filter over the pump intake! That seemed to help (but only a little).

***I would strongly recommend the delux to avoid the issues with the mounting bracket - the delux has the bracket fused to the lid.

Purchased one these for my tank to run Carbon. Combined with ROX 0.8 carbon, my tank was noticeably clearer in less than 24 hours. It is a solidly built product that is easy to install, and the media holder design makes it easy to run the right amount of carbon without causing a lot of tumbling and movement.
